By

is the weather. Today rain and east
winds at 11 mph keep the migration grounded in
Kankakee County, where they arrived yesterday.
Indiana
is still one flight away. They've traveled 248.9 miles so far.

Even if the birds aren't flying today, YOU can have some fun. How about
drawing a lifesize Whooping crane? Directions:

Compare
today's progress with one year ago. You can see the map for last
year on this date above. Where were they,
and which day of the migration was it? (Click

Nov. 1, 2003 report.) How many miles more had they come last year
by this date?
